Hahaha
but what if you want it to run more than 1/2 second :p
Its a sprint bike.
Or just keep spraying fluid. We will have to try that and go for 5 seconds.
Heck, the motor was free so why not?
Say, I'm a bit of a minimalist myself... I'd buy that 'Minimalist's GS500' off of ya, for say... a minimalist price. What do ya think about trading a few turnips for it, huh? ;)

I only trade for magic beans.
I have a couple of magic beans. ;)
Lolz...you got one to fire without carbs, many can't get one to pop with carbs and a fuel tank :thumb:

Miracles happen every week in the West Seattle Bike Cave.
I guess some people are just nuts and hate everything. Someone gave the video a thumbs down! Maybe someone is pissed because it was a free motor off of Craigs List a couple years ago?
That motor has been sitting for 2 years with me and maybe 3 or more with the previous owner. Supposedly it broke a cam guide. After cleaning, it supposedly will turn on the oil light after 20 minutes of running. Oil sump looked clean so we decided to make her run.
Plan is to put it on the cradle I got with a $200 motor, connect exhaust, mount all wiring and use it to test carbs. Much easier than pulling carbs from a bike. The GS500 carb test fixture! How cool will that be?
After that, we can use this set-up to test motors. We have a few motors on the floor. Plus we've mastered getting motors out and into a frame in just a couple minutes (we got HUHSKY's motor in the frame in under a minute!)
No more working on things in the bike.
Don't forget to run your oil at minimum to save the weight :icon_mrgreen:
Also, your free motor looks better than a lot of people's... not free motors.

We did leave off most of the valve cover screws. Does that count?
Hahah nice job Patrick. That thing will definitely be an awesome test bed.
You could get both knees down at the same time on that thing! :thumb:

Sorry I didn't wait for you to make her run. Brian was over and just got the urge to do it.
Now it needs to be on the steel cradle to make room for the exhaust by raising it up from the wooden cart. That should happen this weekend.
coolness
Hmm, so this is gonna be a test engine? I guess no better person to do it than Addy with all his spare parts. Think you could rig up an oxy sensor and a fuel flow meter? Would be interesting to get actual scientific data on all this jetting stuff.

I personally set up my jetting with my butt-dyno :flipoff:

nice vid there Addy! ... i feel that to be more minimalist though ... you dont really need the hand control there do you? ... what about just hotwiring the starter wires/circuit for a second? ;) :cheers:

Exactly my point :icon_lol:
My point is that even so a computer (on a dyno or O2 sniffer) tells you everything is ideal doesn't mean you're get the best real-world performance. The only way to truly optimize it is to ride it and see what feels the best.
Granted, a test rig like that would be great for testing engines or carbs to identify/fix major issues off the bike; but final adjustments/tuning should be done based on riding experience.
